Only One Body Recovered
From Wrecked Mine ?
Work is Suspended.
FAIRMONT, W. VaTbct. 20? Up to j
i late hour tonight only one body ot !
the ten men entombed in the Jamison |
Mine at Barrackville, near here, had i
been recovered. The body was that j
of Isaiah Leasure, of Mannington,
ased 28. who leaves a "widow and sev
eral children. Today L. M. Jones, of
the United States Mines rescue crewt
of Pittsburgh was asphyxiated by gas !
while attempting to reach the en-j
tombed men. Following Mr. Jones i
death all rescue work has been aban
doned. Efforts to penetrate the mine I
will be resumed as soon as a cage in !
shaft No. 3 is repaired. This work is I
being rushed with the utmost speed, j
Other bodies are expected to be re- i
moved from the mine tomorrow.
The body of Jones was taken to!
Pittsburgh this evening, accompanied
by two members of the mine rescue ;
party. He will likely be buried in i
Cleveland.
The complete list of those en- j
tombed in the mine follows:
M. W. ALLISON, aged 29, married.]
A. WILSON VANCE, aged 2S. mar
ried.
S. L. VINCENT, aged 5S. married j
JAMES MEN EAR, aged 24, married;

J. FAGAN, aged 45, unmarried.
JOHN FOSTER, aged 28, negro.
Birds Were Killed.
Jones, with seven other men, had
reached the bottom of the shaft,
where canary birds were released to
test the air. All the birds were al
most instantly kliled, and Jones* who
had advanced further into the work
ings, also fell to the track. His com
panions, advancing to his rescue, felt
the force of the gas, and one by one
dropped. When they did not return]
to the surface another party entered'
the mine and brought them to the sur-j
face. All quickly recovered except i
Jones, who apparently had died in I
the mine. |
Inspectors of the West Virginia De-i
partment of Mines at noon investi
gated conditions in the mine and found
io much gas that further attempts to
recover the bodies of those still inside
were prohibited until the workings
have been cleared. ' This, they expect
ed, would be some time to-morrow.
Meantime the fire had been extin
guished and the fans repaired and
started.

OF SEGRET WORK OF

purpose if he is willing to fignt, J.
Frank Hanly told Ohio and Pennsylva-i
nia audiences today as the trans-con- j
tinental special moved down here from)
Cleveland. To illustrate his declara
tion, Hanly revealed some heretofore
secret history of how the liquor inter- !
ests tried to manipulate through bim ,
before and after his election as Gov-j
ernor of Indiana. He beat them, be !
pointed out, and added that President
Wilson could do the same in the na
tion and Charles E. Hughes could hava
beaten them in New York state while
he was governor.
"They came to me before I was nom
inated for governor," he said, "and de- ,
dared that they would make my nomi- i
nation certain if I would pledge myself I
not to have saloon legislation enacted. !
[ refused. On the eve of my nomination j
they came to me and promised to 11- i
nance my campaign upon receipt of a J
similar pledge. Again I refused what I
they asked. 1
"In my inaugural address I asked for j
liquor legislation and the biggest ?
brewer in the state came to my office
and said that I could not pass the bills j
[ wanted. I asked him why I could not
and then he said that if the bills were I
passed he would see that the political i
r-omplexion of both houses, of the leg- '
islature, were changed in the next elec

"I saw the legislation passed. I
fought them four years, all the time
that I was in power. Hughes did noth

me power and I will do something to it

j he had been reliably informed thati
I Russia and (Germany would sign tertus j

jthat after this peace there would be

and Japan.
"1 know from reliable sources," hej

i between Germany. Austria, Russia and I

toward this combination and an over-j

people would welcome it today.
"It is the old llismarckian tradition
that Germany ought to be the friend
of Russia and that, such an alliance
would be her surest protection.
"If we really want to bring peace

Calabria, Italy.
The report, dated yesterday, says: !
"German submarines sank in the
Mediterranean the following foreign

ON AMERICAN TROOPS
Shots Were Exchanged With
No Casualties on the
American Side.
SAN ANTONIO. T ex.. Oct. 20.?
American troops and Mexicans clash
ed near San Jose in the" Big Bend
country yesterday afternoon, accord
ing to a report, received by' General
Funston early tonight from Colonel
Joseph Gaston, commander of tho dis
trict. The fight lasted tor 45 minutes.
No losses were suffered by the Amer
icans and information is lacking re
garding loss among the Mexicans.
Colonel Gaston's report, said that a
band of about thirty Mexicans opened
fire on a detachment, composed of
twenty-three men of the Sixth Cavalry
and Texas National Guard cacv?'ry
squadron, engaged in patrol du' be
tween Presidio and Kuidosa. ..Men- i
tenant Cudington, of the Texas squad- j
ron, commanding the troops, ordered
his wen to return the fire.
A vigorous exchange of shots con
tinued for a period of 45 minutes, the
Americans and Mexicans firing in
skirmish formation from covered po
sitions on either side of the Rio
Grande. Information from Colonel
Gaston did not indicate that the Unit
ed States crossed in pursuit of the
Mexicans. After the fight Lieutenant
Cudington returned to Kuidosa, with
his command.
Whether the Mexicans were de
facto government troops or members
of a bandit band was not known by
General Funston tonight.
He is awaiting a detailed report of
the action.
Funston Reports.
I WASHINGTON, Oct. 20? Genaral
I Funston, reporting tonight on the ex
change of shots across the border at
San Jose, said that late reports reach
ing him indicated the American troops
were fired upon "by drnken Mexi
cans."
The despatch made do mention of
firing by the American troops and
said there were no casualties on eith
er side. Officials here were inclined
? to attach little significance to the in
cident, believing that an irresponsble
| band had blundered upon the detacli
|ment of Americans and had withdrawn
: after firing a few desultory shots.
I There was nothing in General Fun
[ ston's despatch, it was said, to indi
cate a prolonged engagement.

FAIRMONT MAGNATE
MAKES STRONG APPEAL
For Support of Democratic
1 lcket ? Coal Company
Head Very Active.
Special Dispatch to tha IntcUlgoDccr.
FAIRMONT, W. Va., Oct '20.? The
activity of C. W. Watson, head of the
Fairmont Coal Company, the Consoli
dated Coal Company, and representa
tive^ of the Rockefeller interests in
West Virginia, for the Democratic tick
et is not confined to the check book
nnd fountain pen solely. It has been
understood, of couse, that Mr. Watson
was the principal financial support of
the Cornwell movement, as' well as its
principal organizer and sponsor. The
part that John J. Cornwell played
when he betrayed John T. McGraw in
the famous legislative session of 1911,
turned his back upon his former polit
ical friend and leader, and helped
bring about the nomination of C. W.
Watson to the United States Senate,
is fresh in the minds of a great many
people in this section, and it was ex
pected, therefore, that Mr. Watson
would take an active interest In be
half of Cornwell.
Expectation Verified.
This expectation was verified by the
ousting of John McGraw from the Na
tional Committeemanship after he had
been elected to that position by the
delegates to the National Convention.
Following the orders of Watson and
Cornwell, the Democratic State Com
mittee overturned the actions of the
delegates to the National Convention,
ousted McGraw and put C. W. Watson
in. Not satisfied with this, they
forced C. C. Lewis, the Democratic
State Chairman, to resign, and filled
his place with Clem Shaver, a subor
dinate and supporter of C. W. Watson,
and thereafter removed the Democrat
ic State headquarters from Parkers
.burg, where they had been formally
opened, to Fairmont, where C. W. Wat
son could give them his personal at
tention.
Watson now adds to his activities
by addressing personal letters to vot
ers throughout, the Monongahela Val
ley, in which he appeals to them for
support for the Democratic State tick
et. Mr. Watson has sent out a large
number of letters, and here is a copy of
one of them:
The Letter.

I BIG CROWD HEARS HIM
DESPITE THEWEATHER
Asks Hearers to Look at the
Republican Records and
Not Be Misled.
Special Dispatch tq tlio Jntclllgcnccr.
LOGAN, \Y. Va.. Oct. 20? In his
speech here this afternoon Judge Jra
Robinson, Republican nominee for
Governor strongly defended the Re?
publican state administration of the
past. The weather was most, inclem
ent a good part of the day but in spite
of the fact a large crowd assembled in
the court house to hear the speech
and went away pleased.
The judge advised his hearers to
look into the record of Republican ad
ministration in West Virginia, and not
to listen to the ranklings of the Dem
ocratic orators and press in their fren
zied, but unavailing, efforts to stir tip
passion and prejudice among Repub
licans. He declared that the Repub
lican parly had accomplished more for
t lie benefit of the whole people of West
Virginia in the administrations of At
kinson, Dawson, Glasscock and Hat
field than had ever been before ac
complished.
He again called attention to the
fact that the Democratic campaign is
directed against the equalization 'ax
laws, enacted by the Republicans
under the administration of Governor
Dawson, and said that, these laws con
stituted one of the greatest pieces of
legislation ever enacted in West Vir
ginia. The Judge left here immediate
ly after t lie meeting for Huntington.

SIXTEEN MONTHS OF DEMOCRATIC LOW TARIFF
During the past twenty years we have had under normal
conditions just 16 months of experience of a Democratic low
tariff law. That experience was in the period after the
passage of the Underwood law in 1913 and before the
beginning of the European war, August 1, 1914. The war
has since acted as an artificial protective tariff.
It is interesting to recall some of the results of the
short experience under the Underwood law. Here is a
portion of the record:
Of over 10,000,000 workingmen in the United States in
one year probably 2,000,000 were deprived of their employ
men, and considerably more than 4,000,000 had their wages -
reduced or the volume of their employment reduced.
The great railroads of the United States themselves,
the truest barometers of industrial and business conditions,
reported constantly decreasing earnings. Dividends were
passed, improvements of all kinds ceased. ' '
The balance of foreign trade in favor of the United
States was reduced nearly $200,000,000 per year. We sold
less goods abroad, and we bought more foreign goods thato
before.
In the twelve months ending June 30, 1913, before the
Underwood-Simmons tariff bill became operative, the Ameri
can people sold abroad $2,465,884,149 worth of merchandise.
In the twelve months ending June 30, 1914, after the
Underwood-Simmons tariff bill became operative, the Ameri
can people sold abroad $2,364,625,555 worth of merchandise.
In other words, the immediate effect of the Underwood
Simmons tariff bill was to destroy the market for $100,000,000
worth of American products.
In the 12 months ending June 30, 1913, the American
people imported $1,813,008,234 worth of foreign merchandise.
In the 12 months ending June 30, 1914, after the Under
wood-Simmons tariff bill became effective, the American
people imported $1,894,169,180 worth of merchandise.
In other words, under the industry-wrecking Under
wood-Simmons tariff bill the American people bought abroad
over $81,000,000 worth of goods more than they bought in
the previous twelve months. Every dollar's worth of the
$81,000,000 meant the displacement of that much American
goods, the loss of that much work to American workingmen,
and that much business to American manufacturers.
The first result of the Democratic policy and Democratic . <
legislation is to send more American money abroad and less
American goods, and, on the other hand, to buy and consume
more foreign goods here and to buy and consume less "
American goods. ;|?
SO THAT THEY CAN BE j
WON BACK TO CHURCH j
Mistake to Put Church in the'
Hands of Privileged Classes j
? Approve Pensions.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.? Urging that
without affiliating itself with any "po- .
litical scheme," the church take a |
larger interest in the work of improv
ing tbe masses, leaders of the church !
spoke at a joint meeting of the House j
of Protestant Episcopal General Con- ;
vention here today. }
They said that by such action, the ;
great mass of laboring people "many ;
of whom have been estranged, can be i
won back to the church."
j The Rt. Rev. Edwin S. Lines, bishop i
I of Newark, X. J., said "its a great j
| mistake to bind the fortunes of the j
church with the privileged classes." I
"There are many men who tell me
they are opposed to so many move
ments in the church, but that is only
because they oppose movements of
any kind.
"It is a great misfortune to put the
fortunes of the church up to the priv- 1
ileged people." In binding the for- ,
tunes of the church of England with I
the privileged class, its hold on the I
great body of unprivileged has been j
lost. A bishop of the English church
told me not long ago, that now the |
privileged people have lost their in- ;
terest in the church and that the un- J
j privileged have long ago been lost
j by the lack of interest taken in them !
I by the church. That is why the church j
j of England Is now weak. Let us bind j
the church, by our interests and our j
j work, with the minds and the hearts :
. and the lives of tbe great company j
of the unprivileged and the poor." !
Social Service.
The service of Christianity must be I
social service, the Rt. Rev. Chauncey j
13. Brewster, bishop of Connecticut, j
told the delegates. "God is preparing i
a new world," be said. "Shame on us
as a church if we fail to be always on ;
the side of social justice. We are ,
coming to insist that human life j
must always take precedence of prop- 1
iM'ty rights and that the primary ob- !
ject of business is not to produce j
things and profits, but to produce hap- j
piness.
"Without identifying herself with [
any particular political party, the!
church should always be working to
let the oppressed go free. The church i
with all her great sacraments, teach- ;
ing equality of all classes and condi
tions, must teach also that greal
